A FORGER ARRESTED.

Wedms’ay morning about 9:30 o’clock a young man named Homer L. Clary,who travels for the Northwestern Bible House, but under an assumed name, Chester Vincent stepped into the First National Bank and tried to cash in a check payable to Chester Vincent and signed by A. Leopold. Mr. Hollingsworth to whom he presented the check refused to honor it knowing that it was a forgerie because the writing of the signature was far different from Mr. Leopold’s. As S&on as the young man had left the bank, Mr. Hollingsworth called up Christie Vick, who ar rested him almost immediately, and took him before Squire Irwin who bound him over to the Circuit Court which is now in session. His trial came off just a few min before 10 o’clock, he plead guilty, before Judge Palmer who withheld the sentence until Friday, in order that the young man’s father may see him. Upon searching young Clary, Christie | discovered another check drawn on a Wolcott Bank payable to Chas Dan ford, and signed Homer Clary, also some and papers addressed to that name thus proving his real name to be Clary and not Vincent.
